Embrace the travel.  Bond.  Make the most of the available reps.  Have fun.  Don't get hurt.

The competition appears to be…well, a lot worse than the group of guys I play pickup with every week. Which isn’t much of a compliment.

I don't think who they are playing against impacts how high a player can jump on a breakaway dunk. The only thing about the video I found exciting was that 5'8" Sean Jones got up there for a dunk

Does it count as a win if only 25 people we’re watching?

All one percenters, so yes.

Correction... Young Jones is 5'10".

We can't stream in 2023, get more highlights from the moms on the sidelines than the official accounts, and now can't get box scores either? FFS.

I’ve seen most of the players’ stats Tweeted out. Based on the highlights I’ve seen, I wouldn’t waste 2 hours of my life watching this level of competition. Looks worse than a Pro Am. Highlights are all I need. And I’d say I’m in the top 1% of most diehard MU basketball fans in the world.

Not Pro - Am, more like just Am ( or a not very good rec league).

And, Sean Jones is not even close to
5’ 10”.

It’s a great experience to see Italy, travel , and get the practice time. All worth it as long as No one gets hurt.

Yep.  Sean is 5'10" like Markus was 5'11".
Have some patience, FFS.

Your schtick here and on Twitter is getting tiresome.  This is a vacation for Shaka & Co.  The entitlement of fans is a bad look. Stop complaining.

I get that he is upset that he can’t see these games and can’t even see box-scores. But claiming this could harm “fan goodwill” is a little over the top.

Marquette's social media refusing to give us the basic coverage that Wojo got in his first full summer is what's tiresome. They are choosing to not keep up with league peers, the standard they set for themselves, and what they promised ahead of this trip. But please, tell me more about how good Marquette social media is  ::)

I’m sure they are having fun and working on summer skill development.  The daily pictures, videos, and fan posts are fun/great.

Yep, which isn't located anywhere near Italy, especially the Milan to Rome they highlighted.
